Overview

A cache that supports partial caching of resources.

Terminology

  • A resource is a complete piece of logical data, for example a complete media file.
  • A cache key uniquely identifies a resource. URIs are often suitable for use as cache keys, however this is not always the case. URIs are not suitable when caching resources obtained from a service that generates multiple URIs for the same underlying resource, for example because the service uses expiring URIs as a form of access control.
  • A cache span is a byte range within a resource, which may or may not be cached. A cache span that's not cached is called a hole span. A cache span that is cached corresponds to a single underlying file in the cache.

Summary

Fields
public static final longUID_UNSET

Returned by Cache.getUid() if initialization failed before the unique identifier was read or generated.

Methods
public java.util.NavigableSet<CacheSpan>addListener(java.lang.String key, Cache.Listener listener)

Registers a listener to listen for changes to a given resource.

public voidapplyContentMetadataMutations(java.lang.String key, ContentMetadataMutations mutations)

Applies mutations to the ContentMetadata for the given resource.

public voidcommitFile(java.io.File file, long length)

Commits a file into the cache.

public longgetCachedBytes(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

Returns the total number of cached bytes between position (inclusive) and (position + length) (exclusive) of a resource.

public longgetCachedLength(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

Returns the length of continuously cached data starting from position, up to a maximum of maxLength, of a resource.

public java.util.NavigableSet<CacheSpan>getCachedSpans(java.lang.String key)

Returns the cached spans for a given resource.

public longgetCacheSpace()

Returns the total disk space in bytes used by the cache.

public ContentMetadatagetContentMetadata(java.lang.String key)

Returns a ContentMetadata for the given resource.

public java.util.Set<java.lang.String>getKeys()

Returns the cache keys of all of the resources that are at least partially cached.

public longgetUid()

Returns a non-negative unique identifier for the cache, or Cache.UID_UNSET if initialization failed before the unique identifier was determined.

public booleanisCached(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

Returns whether the specified range of data in a resource is fully cached.

public voidrelease()

Releases the cache.

public voidreleaseHoleSpan(CacheSpan holeSpan)

Releases a CacheSpan obtained from Cache.startReadWrite(String, long, long) which corresponded to a hole in the cache.

public voidremoveListener(java.lang.String key, Cache.Listener listener)

Unregisters a listener.

public voidremoveResource(java.lang.String key)

Removes all CacheSpans for a resource, deleting the underlying files.

public voidremoveSpan(CacheSpan span)

Removes a cached CacheSpan from the cache, deleting the underlying file.

public java.io.FilestartFile(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

Obtains a cache file into which data can be written.

public CacheSpanstartReadWrite(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

A caller should invoke this method when they require data starting from a given position in a given resource.

public CacheSpanstartReadWriteNonBlocking(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

Same as Cache.startReadWrite(String, long, long).

Fields

public static final long UID_UNSET

Returned by Cache.getUid() if initialization failed before the unique identifier was read or generated.

Methods

public long getUid()

Returns a non-negative unique identifier for the cache, or Cache.UID_UNSET if initialization failed before the unique identifier was determined.

Implementations are expected to generate and store the unique identifier alongside the cached content. If the location of the cache is deleted or swapped, it is expected that a new unique identifier will be generated when the cache is recreated.

public void release()

Releases the cache. This method must be called when the cache is no longer required. The cache must not be used after calling this method.

This method may be slow and shouldn't normally be called on the main thread.

public java.util.NavigableSet<CacheSpan> addListener(java.lang.String key, Cache.Listener listener)

Registers a listener to listen for changes to a given resource.

No guarantees are made about the thread or threads on which the listener is called, but it is guaranteed that listener methods will be called in a serial fashion (i.e. one at a time) and in the same order as events occurred.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource.
listener: The listener to add.

Returns:

The current spans for the resource.

public void removeListener(java.lang.String key, Cache.Listener listener)

Unregisters a listener.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource.
listener: The listener to remove.

public java.util.NavigableSet<CacheSpan> getCachedSpans(java.lang.String key)

Returns the cached spans for a given resource.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource.

Returns:

The spans for the key.

public java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getKeys()

Returns the cache keys of all of the resources that are at least partially cached.

public long getCacheSpace()

Returns the total disk space in bytes used by the cache.

public CacheSpan startReadWrite(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

A caller should invoke this method when they require data starting from a given position in a given resource.

If there is a cache entry that overlaps the position, then the returned CacheSpan defines the file in which the data is stored. CacheSpan.isCached is true. The caller may read from the cache file, but does not acquire any locks.

If there is no cache entry overlapping position, then the returned CacheSpan defines a hole in the cache starting at position into which the caller may write as it obtains the data from some other source. The returned CacheSpan serves as a lock. Whilst the caller holds the lock it may write data into the hole. It may split data into multiple files. When the caller has finished writing a file it should commit it to the cache by calling Cache.commitFile(File, long). When the caller has finished writing, it must release the lock by calling Cache.releaseHoleSpan(CacheSpan).

This method may be slow and shouldn't normally be called on the main thread.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource.
position: The starting position in the resource from which data is required.
length: The length of the data being requested, or C.LENGTH_UNSET if unbounded. The length is ignored if there is a cache entry that overlaps the position. Else, it defines the maximum length of the hole CacheSpan that's returned. Cache implementations may support parallel writes into non-overlapping holes, and so passing the actual required length should be preferred to passing C.LENGTH_UNSET when possible.

Returns:

The CacheSpan.

public CacheSpan startReadWriteNonBlocking(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

Same as Cache.startReadWrite(String, long, long). However, if the cache entry is locked, then instead of blocking, this method will return null as the CacheSpan.

This method may be slow and shouldn't normally be called on the main thread.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource.
position: The starting position in the resource from which data is required.
length: The length of the data being requested, or C.LENGTH_UNSET if unbounded. The length is ignored if there is a cache entry that overlaps the position. Else, it defines the range of data locked by the returned CacheSpan.

Returns:

The CacheSpan. Or null if the cache entry is locked.

public java.io.File startFile(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

Obtains a cache file into which data can be written. Must only be called when holding a corresponding hole CacheSpan obtained from Cache.startReadWrite(String, long, long).

This method may be slow and shouldn't normally be called on the main thread.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource being written.
position: The starting position in the resource from which data will be written.
length: The length of the data being written, or C.LENGTH_UNSET if unknown. Used only to ensure that there is enough space in the cache.

Returns:

The file into which data should be written.

public void commitFile(java.io.File file, long length)

Commits a file into the cache. Must only be called when holding a corresponding hole CacheSpan obtained from Cache.startReadWrite(String, long, long).

This method may be slow and shouldn't normally be called on the main thread.

Parameters:

file: A newly written cache file.
length: The length of the newly written cache file in bytes.

public void releaseHoleSpan(CacheSpan holeSpan)

Releases a CacheSpan obtained from Cache.startReadWrite(String, long, long) which corresponded to a hole in the cache.

Parameters:

holeSpan: The CacheSpan being released.

public void removeResource(java.lang.String key)

Removes all CacheSpans for a resource, deleting the underlying files.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource being removed.

public void removeSpan(CacheSpan span)

Removes a cached CacheSpan from the cache, deleting the underlying file.

This method may be slow and shouldn't normally be called on the main thread.

Parameters:

span: The CacheSpan to remove.

public boolean isCached(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

Returns whether the specified range of data in a resource is fully cached.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource.
position: The starting position of the data in the resource.
length: The length of the data.

Returns:

true if the data is available in the Cache otherwise false;

public long getCachedLength(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

Returns the length of continuously cached data starting from position, up to a maximum of maxLength, of a resource. If position isn't cached then -holeLength is returned, where holeLength is the length of continuously uncached data starting from position, up to a maximum of maxLength.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource.
position: The starting position of the data in the resource.
length: The maximum length of the data or hole to be returned. C.LENGTH_UNSET is permitted, and is equivalent to passing MAX_VALUE.

Returns:

The length of the continuously cached data, or -holeLength if position isn't cached.

public long getCachedBytes(java.lang.String key, long position, long length)

Returns the total number of cached bytes between position (inclusive) and (position + length) (exclusive) of a resource.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource.
position: The starting position of the data in the resource.
length: The length of the data to check. C.LENGTH_UNSET is permitted, and is equivalent to passing MAX_VALUE.

Returns:

The total number of cached bytes.

public void applyContentMetadataMutations(java.lang.String key, ContentMetadataMutations mutations)

Applies mutations to the ContentMetadata for the given resource. A new androidx.media3.datasource.cache.CachedContent is added if there isn't one already for the resource.

This method may be slow and shouldn't normally be called on the main thread.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource.
mutations: Contains mutations to be applied to the metadata.

public ContentMetadata getContentMetadata(java.lang.String key)

Returns a ContentMetadata for the given resource.

Parameters:

key: The cache key of the resource.

Returns:

The ContentMetadata for the resource.
